Corporations:
“Procter & Gamble benefited significantly from Steve’s expertise, his idea and his creativity… During the seven years that Steve worked with P&G, he contributed insights into both our processes and our programs. He contributed to productive change within our market research, marketing operations, production, and purchasing areas. He also supported several new product introductions with his ideas and techniques.” – John E. Pepper, Chairman & CEO (Retired), Procter & Gamble
“Steve knows ‘business.’ After I bought one of his companies, Steve joined me and took on strategy and operations for 20 businesses, generating some of the highest profits in the organization. His ‘Elephant’ strategy is right on the money, as long as you’re willing to roll up your sleeves and go to work.” – Dan M. Snyder, Owner and Chairman of the Board, the Washington Redskins
“We absolutely had great feedback on our event. Thanks for the support and enthusiasm.” – Bill Arend, Regional Manager, Oracle

Small/Medium Businesses:
“I just completed a $17.3-million private equity deal for my company, LittleMissMatched.

This book is an incredible tool for any entrepreneur or owner looking to exit a business.” – Jonah Staw, CEO, LittleMissMatched
